GENERATIONS OF
WEB
WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW)
AND INTERNET
The Internet is the actual
interconnection of computers
and other networks, while the
web refers to the system that
enables people to access
information over the internet
and it was created by Tim
Berners-Lee in 1989.
The internet is the hardware aspect
because it relates to computer networks,
connections and infrastructures. But, the
web refers to the software aspect as it
relates to the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol).
HTTP are procedures that enables
the transfer of information in the internet
web services, applications and platforms.
GENERATIONS OF
WEBthree distinctive
The web has
generations namely: Web 1.0, Web 2.0
and Web 3.0. The generations of the
web are categorized based on
functionality and features that it
represents.
1. Web 1.0
According to Tim Berners-Lee, web
1.0 is “Read-only web” which means
the user can only read whatever
content the creator has made.
Web pages are static and not
interactive. You can’t post comments
or create an account.
2. Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is “Read-Write”, which refers
for the ability of the user to add content
thru posting, sharing, commenting or
rating. Web 2.0 allows interaction not only
in between the user and the creator but
also to other users. Examples are sites
like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and
Reddit.
Characteristics of web 2.0
• Dynamic
The content of the website
changes
• Interactive
The user may be able to comment
or create user account. It enables an
increased user participation in the web
Features of Web 2.0
• Folksonomy
It allows users to categorize and
classify/arrange information using
freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging).
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use
tags that start with the pound sign (#).
This is also referred to as hashtag.
• Rich User Experience
Content is dynamic and is
responsive to user’s input. An example
would be a website that shows local
content. In the case of social
networking sites, when logged on,
your account is used to modify what
you see in their website.
• User Participation
The owner of the website is not the
only one who is able to put content.
Others are able to place a content of their
own by means of comment, reviews, and
evaluation. Some websites allow readers
to comment on an article, participate in a
poll, or review a specific product (e.g.,
Amazon.com, online stores).
• Software as a Service
Users will subscribe to a software
only when needed rather than
purchasing them. This is a cheaper
option if you do not always need to
use a software. Software as a service
allows you to “rent” a software for a
minimal fee.
• Mass Participation
It is a diverse information sharing
through universal web access. Since
most users can use the Internet, Web
2.0’s content is based on people from
various cultures.
3. Web 3.0
Web 3.0 is a concept of how the web
will evolve. The aim of Web 3.0 is to have
machines understand the user’s
preferences to be able to deliver web
content specifically targeting the user.
The Internet is able to predict the best
possible answers to your question by
learning from your previous choices.
